If you have a question about one of my actions, these pages might be useful:

What Wikipedia is not.
Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, particularly neutral point of view, which requires the tone of articles to be balanced and encyclopedic.
Why was the page I created deleted?

You can contact me by leaving a message at the relevant article talk page or on my user talk page. You can also email me.

I was an administrator, checkuser, and arbitrator on the English Wikipedia. These days, I am more active within the global Wikimedia community, where I am a privacy ombudsperson, and you can also contact me on my user talk page at Meta-Wiki.

I am from the UK. I write in Scottish English (one of the forms of British English) and have an unshakeable habit of using the word outwith, which is commonplace in Scotland but archaic and confusing ~~outwith~~ outside it.

A warm reminder from Wikipedia: Don't be a Wikipediholic! Take a break and do some other activity.
